After Samato left, the two looked at the place where he was standing in surprise. After standing there for a few seconds, Satoshi came to himself, activated byakugan, looked around. Realizing that the bandits were still in the house, he deactivated his eyes and looked at the frozen teammate, said.

- Don't just stand there. – And heading for the door, added. – We don't have much time.

After coming to his senses, Kuzu glared at Satoshi coming out, muttered.

- I'll show you .

After that, he quickly went to the next room. When he entered it, he saw how Kurugi, sitting on the bed next to his mother, holding her hand. Hearing that someone had entered, the boy looked towards the door.

- We have to go.

Hearing this, Kurugi shuddered a little, but restrained himself, got out of bed and bowed deeply.

- Thank you for your help, if it wasn't for you, my mother and I... would be dead by now.

Blushing a little, Kuzu scratched his head uncertainly, without thinking answered.

- Well, I didn't help you with anything, after all, it was Samato who cured your mother.

Realizing the words he had just said, Kuzu internally felt contempt for himself. Reaching into the bag, he took out a small bag and handed it to the boy, said.

- This is a medicine that will help heal wounds, just dilute it in water.

Taking the bag, the boy bowed again, and was about to open his mouth again to thank, when an impatient voice rang out.

- Do I have to wait for you for a long time? Samato has already dealt with one of his goals, and because of you, we didn't even come out.

- I have to go, goodbye.

With a complicated expression, Kuzu left the room and headed for the exit, where Satoshi was waiting for him with a dissatisfied face.

- Finally, you really are a ballast. No wonder Grandma said that I to would not count on your abilities.

Having finished speaking and turned around, Satoshi went out the open door, did not pay attention to Kuzu's eyes flashing with anger, in the depths of which pain could be seen.

Quickly running through the streets, the two approached the house where the bandits were. After examining what was happening in the house, Satoshi saw that their targets were in different rooms. Giving a sign to Kuzu to come in from the other side, he jumped on the windowsill and opened the window with a kunai, penetrated inside.

After examining the dark room and the bandit sleeping on the bed, Satoshi quietly approached him. In the dark, you could see an ordinary katana leaning against the back of the bed. After giving her a fleeting glance, Satoshi looked at the man lying on his back. Gripping the kunai tightly, he raised the kunai over the bandit with a trembling hand, preparing to strike.

When he was about to strike, it was not confidence that pierced him. Frozen in indecision and having stood for several tens of seconds thinking about the correctness of his actions, he was suddenly distracted by a sharp noise and a scream in the next room.

When Satoshi came to himself, he saw the bandit, waking up, looking at him in horror. Frozen for a second, the man quickly reached for the katana. The sudden movement of the bandit scared Satoshi and he struck with all his might.

A painful cry of a man was heard in the room, in whose shoulder a kunai was stuck. Satoshi, seeing that the man in front of him did not die, exerted force pulled out the blade and struck again. The blows continued for some time, until silence descended on the room, interrupted by heavy breathing.

Sitting on the floor and looking at his trembling hands covered in blood, Satoshi tried to calm down. His grandmother had told him many times that it was necessary to be calm in any situation.

After sitting for a minute and more or less regaining consciousness, he suddenly remembered the sound coming from the other room. Angry and gritting his teeth, he jumped up from his seat and quickly ran into the next room.

Bursting into the room, Satoshi saw the corpse of a man lying on the floor, with a katana clutched in his hands. There was no visible external damage on it, except for the blood flowing from behind the mouth.

Looking away from the corpse and looking around the room further, he caught sight of Kuzu, who had fallen to his knees and was trembling. Looking at the dead man, tears flowed from his eyes. Seeing this, Satoshi quickly approached his partner with an angry expression and swinging, hit him on the cheek with his palm.

- You useless trash, you couldn't even get close to your goal without making a fuss! How are you even going to become a ninja if you can't kill an ordinary person?

After receiving a blow and hearing a scream, Kuzu came to his senses and looked at Satoshi, said with trembling lips.

- I-I wanted to kill him, but I-I couldn't. And-and oh-he suddenly woke up.

Satoshi, who wanted to continue shouting, hesitated for a second, realizing that he was also frozen before the murder. But ashamed to admit it, he screamed again.

- What difference does it make that you couldn't, because of you, my goal also woke up!

- I-I'm sorry, I didn't mean to.

- What are you talking about…

- Stop it! Is this how members of the proud Hyuga clan should behave?

Interrupting Satoshi, a loud voice with an imperative note rang through the room. Looking in the direction of the voice, the children saw Hiko appear, with a serious expression on his face.

- The life of a ninja is a life on the edge and killing is a common thing. Now you have felt for yourself what it means to deprive someone of it. Satoshi, you have to learn to admit your mistakes, and you understand what mistakes I'm talking about. Kuzu, you're too kind, this trait is good, but also disastrous. If you want to prove your worth to others, you must first gain self-confidence, do not oppress yourself. Wait for Samato, he should finish soon.

After listening to the commander's speech, Satoshi felt uncomfortable and, glancing at his teammate, snorted and stepped aside to wipe his hands of blood.

Kuzu, in turn, sitting on the floor for a long time pondered Hiko's words. The more he played them in his head, the more determined the light in his eyes became. Getting up from the floor and wiping his face from tears, he respectfully bowed to his commander.

Seeing this, Hiko smiled a little and nodded his head. Soon a relaxed Samato entered the house, who, after examining the room and the people in it, more or less understood the situation.

After a little thought, he smiled, took one of the scrolls from his hip and, under the surprised looks of everyone in the room, printed out a small jar with small black pills in it.

Opening the jar, he poured a few pills into his palm and, by casting a fleeting glance at them, unnoticed by others, separated three pills. Throwing the rest back, he closed the jar, threw his teammates one piece at a time.

- These are sedative pills, take them now, they should normalize your condition.

Satoshi, glancing at the completely black pill, threw it into his mouth, swallowing. Kuzu, having also looked at the black pill, with an imperceptible small grayish dot, ate it.
